SUMMARY:14th International Whitehead Conference
DESCRIPTION:The 14th International Whitehead Conference will be held July 17–20\, 2026\, in Zhuhai\, China\, at Beijing Normal–Hong Kong Baptist University (BNBU). Zhuhai is a vibrant coastal city in southern China\, located on the Pearl River Delta neighboring Macau and Hong Kong. \nThis global gathering of scholars\, educators\, and practitioners marks a pivotal moment to engage Alfred North Whitehead’s philosophy in dialogue with the pressing challenges and transformative opportunities of the 21st century. The theme of the 2026 International Whitehead Conference is: “Process Philosophy in a Time of Polycrisis: Science\, Meaning\, and Civilization.” The conference will explore how process thought can illuminate the great transitions of our time—toward a more sustainable\, creative\, and compassionate world. \nBuilding on the legacy of previous IWCs\, the Zhuhai conference will highlight Whitehead’s continuing relevance for science and modernization\, the integration of cultural traditions with contemporary innovation\, and the construction of an ecological civilization and a community of shared future for humankind. Supporting China’s vision of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature\, this conference aims to advance creative dialogue between Chinese and global perspectives on civilization\, ecology\, and modernization. \nWith participants expected from more than 15 countries\, the 2026 IWC will combine scholarly rigor with innovative collaborative formats. In addition to academic paper presentations\, participants will engage in interdisciplinary roundtables\, collaborative project incubators\, publication workshops\, and youth/talent cultivation sessions. \nWe invite proposals for 20-minute presentations for concurrent breakout sessions organized around thematic tracks (see below). If your research does not fit neatly within these categories\, you are still encouraged to submit a proposal. New tracks may be developed in response to submissions. Please select “Other” if unsure which track best applies. \n \n\n\nSubmission Deadline\n\n\nFebruary 27\, 2026\n\n\nNotification of Acceptance\n\n\nMarch 15\, 2026\n\n\nConference Dates\n\n\nJuly 17–20\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor:\nConference tracks\, submission\, venue\, logistics etc.\, please follow this link
